Ah, summer in Santa Cruz -
moody mornings, clear skies by noon,
and golden evenings.

 

In a world that can feel heavy with uncertainty and noise,  In This Moment offers a place of beauty and solace.

 

This exhibition brings together six local artists whose work explores light, rhythm, and emotional nuance through painting and photography. From bold color fields to expressive forms, each piece offers a quiet invitation to pause, reflect, and notice what is unfolding.

​

We invite you to step into the warmth of this space and the season, alive with light, rhythm, and the slow unfolding of summer.
